Valde settings

Valde utilizes a mouse sensitivity of 1.65 in combination with a DPI setting of 400, resulting in an effective eDPI of 660. This setup is popular among professional players as it offers a balanced approach, allowing for precise crosshair control while providing enough mobility for quick flick shots and efficient tracking in high-pressure situations.

Valde plays on the ZOWIE XL2566K monitor, a model renowned for its high refresh rate and low input lag, which are crucial for competitive shooters like Counter-Strike 2. This monitor provides exceptionally smooth visuals and rapid response times, enabling Valde to react swiftly to in-game events and maintain consistent accuracy during fast-paced matches.

Valde's crosshair is set to a compact, static style with a minimal gap and no center dot, colored green for maximum visibility. By opting for this Classic Static configuration, he ensures a clear line of sight with minimal distraction, which supports precise aiming and quick target acquisition in all combat scenarios.

Valde uses a native 1920x1080 resolution with a 16:9 aspect ratio in fullscreen mode. He sets model texture detail to low and disables both vertical sync and player contrast boost. These choices prioritize frame rate and responsiveness, reducing visual clutter and input delay, which are essential for maintaining peak performance in competitive play.

Valde currently uses the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 Black, a mouse favored by many esports professionals due to its ultra-lightweight design and reliable sensor. This mouse allows for swift, effortless movements and precise tracking, which are critical for high-level Counter-Strike 2 gameplay.

Valde's choice is the Logitech G PRO X 2 Headset Black, which is known for its clear positional audio and noise isolation. Accurate sound cues are vital in Counter-Strike 2 for detecting enemy movements and actions, and this headset provides the clarity and comfort needed for extended competitive sessions.

Valde opts for a radar HUD size of approximately 1.14 and a map zoom of 0.3, with the radar set to rotate and center on the player. This configuration ensures that critical map information is always in view and dynamically oriented, enhancing his ability to track both teammates and opponents during complex rounds.

Valde uses the Wooting 80HE Black keyboard, which features analog input technology. This provides more precise movement control and rapid key response, giving him an edge in situations that require quick and accurate input, such as strafing or executing complex utility throws.

Valde customizes his viewmodel with a FOV of 65 and specific offsets (2.5 on X, 2 on Y, and -1.5 on Z) to minimize weapon obstruction while maximizing peripheral vision. This setup helps him maintain clear sightlines and react quickly to threats appearing at the edges of the screen.

Valde sets his mouse polling rate to 1000 Hz and uses the default Windows sensitivity level of 6. A high polling rate ensures that mouse movements are registered with minimal delay, while the standard Windows setting avoids unpredictable acceleration, resulting in consistent and reliable aiming during intense gameplay.
